The Tennessee Supreme Court issued a public censure for Williamson County lawyer Daniel Olen Barham on March 20. The court found that Barham violated Rules of Professional Conduct 3.4 and 8.4(d) when he failed to timely notify the trial court, a custodian appointed to oversee his finances, and opposing counsel of the receipt of an asset subject to court injunction. The Supreme Court also found that Barham should have asked the court’s permission to deposit the proceeds into his trust account. The Supreme Court released notice of the censure today. A similar censure also was imposed on Braham's colleague Zachery Steven Darnell.
